The University of Kansas has lost and is losing, through death, retirement, and to other universities, many of its most prominent and active professors.
Minnesota University is complaining that its salary scale is not sufficient to keep its best men, and that scale is 40-50% more than that of the University of Kansas.

Chief among the characters who do their part towards pushing the play along is Betty Ruth Smith, fa37. She plays the difficult part of young smart women who knows her way. An elegant wardrobe aided her characterization appreciably. In all honesty, however, it must be said that she was the only one who coughed occasionally on her lines.
Our favorite among the pushers is Joe Myers, 'cunl, who was on the stage only for a few moments as the husband of a very dumb little lady, Lucille Wagner, fa'38. Joe's boredom was the most finished performance of the show. Lucille's dumbbness was a close second.
This Thing Called Love' Introduces Sophistication to Old Fraser Theater
Ester Hollecker, c37, as the hateful, jealous wife of Sam Kimble, c37, pushed most of the time and made something of her part. The audience was provoked genius with her which she was as if should have been. Sam Kimble, rested his arm on the time and performed a hit too stiffly for a man playing the part of a successful, up-andcoming business man.
Old Fraser theater has gone modern this week and in a big way. Not only has the Dramatic club been staging a new, modern sophisticated play on the Fraser trio (Robert Seel, hofer 37; William Leech, c37; and Wobler Ingham, c37) but for the first time been rendering some modern music, and most acceptably too. Their catchy arrangements of several of the newer tunes is worthy of much
M.S.C. Approves Joint Resolution On Book Store
"The play, "This Thing Called Love," is a snappy little carriage in which ride a bevy of actors and actresses. At times there is some doubt as to what is further motive force the play is the cast, but on the phone it moves along smoothly, well oiled by many laughs.
Smith Is Chief Pusher
The Architectural Society of 45 members leave Saturday morning to attend the "Better Homes and Flower Show" in Kansas City. The group will motor to Kansas City, accompanied by Prof. B. F. Smith and wife, and Prof. George M. Beals and wife. After the show the group will go on an inspection tour of the Municipal auditorium.

Society To Attend Show
Two more vocancies were announced last night, one in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the other in the School of Education. These positions will be filled at the next meeting of the Council.
hass for maintenance and operation of a co-operative student book store will now be drawn up by the Union Operating committee. These plans will be submitted to the Councils for their approval before the opening committee will be empowered to proceed with actual development.
President John Milton Phillips instructed the P.S.C.L party to submit a candidate for the supreme court to fill the vacancy left by Tony Immel, 138, who recently resigned from the court.
Pettitions for vacancies in membership representing the School of Fine Arts and the School of Business were billed upon. Loren McCormack, 't38, and Robert Briggs, fa38, both Pachecuism, were elected
David Angevine; c'39, in behalf of the Y.M.C.A., asked that the Council lend its support to Religious Emphasis week, and if at all possible appropriate a small sum to aid in defraying the expenses of speakers who will be brought to the Campus to discuss modern issues. The Council awarded the project and allowed $25 to the Y.M.C.A. as promoter in promoting it.
American siren and general monkey wrench in the cogs of the play; Fred Littoty, c'20, well-dressed gigolo and little else, and James Bradfield, c'1unch, the butter, who persisted in wearing full dress not only for the evening scenes but for the early afternoon ones as well.
Locile Gaynor, curel, contributed her bit by appearing on the stage for a few seconds as a perfect maid. The play maintained its highly sophisticated tone throughout until the final scene when it stopped to the mudwall and melodied having the jeopardy appear and try to win against the handsome hero. He poses of course and all ends well with everybody happy.
"This Thing Called Love" is the first play which has been given under the sole direction of Rolf Shone's University dramatic department.
Inconsistencies Appear
A few things stood out in the production as being strangely out of place. In act one the immaculate butter cheers onto the stage tugging a cocktail tray can come to an 18-inch shaker. We dressey the propeller hoisted work hard raking up an setker, set shaker, and all, but it would be much more in tune with the stage settings if the shaker were left at its proper place in the butler's pantry.
There was something incongruous about the sound of a horn outside the door of what was supposed to be a luxurious, metropolitan apartment. And if the horn couldn't have been eliminated it might at least have been something other than a 1929 Model A klaxon.
The stage design by Robert Gard deserve recognition. The background with its 14-foot window and outside scenery was splendidly done. However 'most of the "modern" furnish on the stage had a darker color, plays for the past five years and could certainly stand a little severe renovation.
Let it be said, however, about the play that we saw no person sleeping and that we broke into an occasional bella laugh ourselves.

Jin Pinkington tells us.
One of the young instructors in the School of Business (half of whom took him for a student the first day) tells of having held so many different positions with large corporations, that students are beginning to wonder whether he has an especially active imagination or remembrance of the events of his life and existence.
He has worked for so many firms as an accountant, investment broker and statistician that he must have gone to work before entering high school.
It is so seldom that anything about the engineers appears in print that the recent survey is really deserving of mention. This survey attempted to establish the relationship between education and vocation. It showed, among other things, that the best dishwashers in the country's most exclusive hotels were graduate civil engineers.
